Content
Referring to FIGS. 1A-2, an assembly 10 for an implantable knee prosthesis is shown including a femoral component 14 and a tibial insert 12. As used herein, “femoral" describes a feature, aspect, component, function, attribute, structure or part that is, or is configured to, connect to, couple to, interact with, interoperate with or is otherwise associated with a femur bone of a human or animal. As used herein, an “insert” refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, device, component, system, or assembly that is structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to couple or connect to one or more other components, parts, or devices. In certain embodiments, an insert is configured to be inserted or deployed between two or more other components or structures. The femoral component 14 and tibial insert 12 are shown coupled in extension in FIG. 1A, coupled in flexion in FIG. 1B, and shown in an exploded view in FIG. 2. The tibial insert 12 may be further coupled to a tibial baseplate component (See FIG. 24A) which may be implanted in a prepared tibia of a patient (also not shown). The femoral component 14 and tibial insert 12 illustrated in FIGS. 1A-2 are right femoral and tibial insert components. In certain embodiments, left femoral and tibial insert components may be mirror images of the right femoral and tibial insert components shown in FIGS. 1A-2. The femoral component 14 may also be referred to as a posterior stabilizing femoral component 14 (or “PS femoral component”) and the tibial insert 12 may also be referred to as a posterior stabilizing tibial insert (or “PS insert”).
